**AUDREY**
I’d expected his anger. He probably rushed out of his home, as he was looking fresh from the shower, wearing only a white T-shirt and jeans. But I still couldn’t understand how he found me.
Hastily, he opened the car door and ordered me to get in and settle into the driver’s seat. I jolted in surprise when he furiously smashed his fist on the steering wheel.
“How could you fucking leave like that, Audrey?” he hissed. “I was only in the bathroom for a fucking few minutes, and instead of waiting and telling me, you came running to Charles Scott?”
“I didn’t come here for Charles! You should understand that by now by showing your face in front of Edward Hopkins,” I retorted. He apparently didn’t like this tone. “How did you find me, anyway?”
“You dropped your phone on my floor. I accidentally read the text.”
I heaved out a sigh. “He knows now who you are. I’m sorry about that. But aren’t you concerned about what he might do?”
“He’ll find out anyway, and he can’t touch us here,” he said irritably. “How could you do this to me, Audrey? I was too damned worried about what happened to you.”
“I’m fine, Gabriel.”
“You could run away from me just like that,” he stated, sounding as if it was a fact, but I understood where he was coming from. “How easy it is for you to leave.”
“I told you I was coming back,” I reasoned.
“By leaving a note?” He looked at me with a tormented expression. “Audrey, you can’t do this to me again. I told you if we do this, we do this together.”
“I’m sorry.” I sniveled back my tears. “I’m sorry, Gabriel. I was wrong. I was just afraid that this might happen and you’ll fight him to death.”
“I’m not barbaric, Audrey.” His face looked offended. “I’m a very civilized person. I’ve already thought this through. I just didn’t expect that this face-to-face would happen so soon.”
“What are you planning now?”
“To get you back to my penthouse and fuck your senses back,” he said heatedly. “We’re not done with you, Audrey.”
I shook my head. “Seriously, Gabriel.”
“I hate to say that you need to call your friend Charles again about the house so we can finally settle this. I don’t like that you have business with him.”
“I can’t see Charles as a person who would betray me—but of course, I’m still cautious. He’s also Samuel’s friend, and he must have a reason.”
“Then why did he take Edward here?”
“His uncle brought him to talk to me. I believe Dad and his uncle are acquainted.”
“Well, all I see is a person who wants to get in your pants,” he said frankly. “Listen, Audrey. My investigator found out more about Samuel and the Hopkins properties and his connection with the Scotts. I didn’t want to spoil the moment, but—”
I held his arm and stared at his achingly gorgeous face that I knew I would never get enough of. “Then don’t spoil it, and we’ll talk about this later. I’m sorry, I should have told you, and we came here together. Please don’t be mad at me.”
“I’m not anymore,” he whispered.
I bit my lower lip, and since he had already brought up his plans tonight, I might as well relive my inner fantasies and do the things I always wanted with him.
“Hey. Do you have ice cream at home?”
“I don’t think I have.” He frowned. “We can stop by a convenience store if you like. Cravings?”
My gaze lowered on the curve of his chiseled jaws down to his chest, where his muscles slightly bulged on his shirt. I swallowed dryly.
“I guess,” I said breathlessly. “Yes, cravings.”
“Hmm.” He looked at me curiously. “Okay.”
He revved up the car engine and pulled away. We briefly stopped by a 24-hour convenience store and grabbed a pint of vanilla ice cream, and we returned to his penthouse.
I walked straight to his kitchen and excitedly opened the lid, then munched a spoonful of ice cream. I shut my eyes as I savored the sweetness that melted in my mouth. I ran my tongue on my lip and met Gabriel’s intense gaze when I opened my eyes.
Slowly, I moved close to him, placed the pint of ice cream down on the island, and glided my arms into his shirt.
He breathed hard. “What are you doing?”
“Hmm? Don’t you know what I was doing?” I teased. I lifted his shirt leisurely onto the top of his head, and he helped me get rid of it and grinned sexily.
“What’s on your mind now, angel?”
I grabbed the ice cream again and scooped a spoonful. I fed him and kissed his mouth.
He moaned. “Hmm…”
I licked the ice cream in his mouth, sucking his lips, and our tongues whirled in one rhythm. I felt his smile between our mouths, but then I took another portion of ice cream and smeared it on his left pectoral, and white cream melted on his nipple. I wrapped my arms around his waist and delectably took one of his nipples in my mouth.
He groaned. “Ahh… Audrey…” he breathed, and he held on to my head. Leisurely, I sucked his nipple like another flavor of ice cream, and it’s now my favorite. Sounds of delight escape my mouth. He was just so delicious.
“My angel, the things you do to me.” He chuckled and then clutched a handful of my hair.
I took his other nipple while my hands were busy unzipping him. I didn’t stop licking, kissing, and sucking his crown as I undid his jeans. When I didn't taste the ice cream anymore, I put another scoop on his damn perfect abs and claimed him again.
He couldn’t stop groaning and moaning whenever I played with my tongue on his skin. He was so perfect that even his skin tasted so delicious. Downward his abs, I reached his navel, coaxing him there with the tip of my tongue. I then stopped to pull his boxers down. His majestic, nine-inch shaft sprang up—so thick and so hard. I couldn’t get enough of our dirty little foreplay—I put ice cream on his cock and took him in my mouth. His shaft felt like steel covered with soft velvet.
“Fuck!” he cursed. The heat of his skin and the iciness of the ice cream complimented my mouth. It was so damn hot. He was so fucking sexy. I lowered myself, taking him so deeply, and started to bob my head.
“Audrey, that’s enough…” I whispered hoarsely, but I didn’t stop. The sounds I produced with my mouth sounded so erotic that I was even more turned on.
“I’m going to come in your mouth. I want to come inside you.” Swiftly, he moved backward, and the parting of his cock and my mouth created a popping sound. He pulled me up and brought me to the marble island. He positioned himself between my thighs, and he sank into me.
“Ahh!” I screamed in pure ecstasy. It’s driving me mad. I curled my arms around his neck as he continued to pound into me.
